Former President Donald Trump wants to require a 'stamina' assessment for would-be presidents – raising the stakes on Nikki Haley's call for a mental competency test.  Trump, 76, whose White House physician said in 2018 that he would benefit from a low carb diet and 'a routine exercise regiment,' said the physical component should be in addition to the mental test. Trump famously bragged about acing his own mental acuity test while he was in office. It was later revealed the assessment asked respondents such basic questions as distinguishing an elephant from a camel. 'ANYBODY running for the Office of President of the United States should agree

Senator Fetterman is 53 years old. Maybe they should drop the age requirement.

Better to have to pass a literacy and mental competency tests to vote. That would solve so many of our problems.

Doubt Biden or Fetterman could pass a Kindergarten test. Yet millions of people voted for them anyway. Prove to me representative government works. If it really did, Biden and Fetterman would be nowhere.

Why have them take any test at all? The doctors, government and media will just lie about the results. We were told that Biden is fit to lead, Fetterman is ready for his role, and Trump is in the early stages of demencia, insane, mentally unfit for his role. They lie about everything. Everything!

The Montreal Cog test only takes about 15 minutes, the Mini-Cog only about 3 minutes. "Trump famously bragged about acing his own mental acuity test while he was in office. It was later revealed the assessment asked respondents such basic questions as distinguishing an elephant from a camel." It does not ask you to differentiate between them, it briefly shows you a picture of a group of objects or animals, then turning over the sheet, asks you what objects or animals were in the group. In some forms it asks you the same question later in the interview, after some time has passed...to see about memory retention. I did several hundred in home wellness tests on Medicare recipients, mostly in rural areas, height, weight, list of medications taken, diagnoses receiving treatment, past and current, activity levels, food security, alcohol/tobacco use, sight, hearing, reflex, balance, walking/sitting tests, several hundred questions on an Ipad,...part of it was doing a mini cog, I was amazed that of the hundreds only about three could draw a clock face, then add the correct hands to mark a correct indication of time. Few could remember a list of words or objects from 5 minutes prior. The program was an Obamacare funded nationwide thing....I found the Insurance company paying me to do it was using it to weed clients out of their coverage. I quit, read later that they had dropped nearly 30% of seniors in this region from their existing plans, shunted them to other companies and Obamacare.

The fact is that if Joe Biden was given a mental acuity test the Doctor who gave it to him would declare him to be about 10 points below Einstein. Just like the clown who gave him a physical and said he was a vibrant and physically able bodied 80 year old.

Family Business, Classified Doc Scandal

Kathy Chung, President Joe Biden’s former “primary gatekeeper,” has agreed to partially comply with the House Oversight Committee’s probe into the classified document scandal and the Biden family’s international business schemes. Chung’s lawyer, Bill Taylor, told CNN she will hand over some requested documents and sit for an interview with the committee, which is investigating the Biden family for nine violations, including money laundering and wire fraud. It is also probing Biden’s classified document scandal that would likely not have been revealed to the public if it was not leaked to CBS News in January.

Gisele Fetterman took her children on a road trip to Canada while her husband, Sen. John Fetterman was being treated for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Fetterman, 41, posted on social media about the trip after the senator's staff revealed he had checked into the Maryland hospital amid 'severe' depression. She said she took the trip because of the media presence outside their Braddock home, following news of her husband's treatment.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk appeared to defend “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams’ remarks concerning race, accusing the media of being racist toward white people and Asians as dozens of media outlets such as The Washington Post and the New York Times dropped the comic strip. A Twitter account with the handle Monitoring Bias tweeted, “Adams was horrified that a poll of black people showed only half believe ‘it’s OK to be white.’ He called this hate and recommended white people live far away from blacks. MSM verdict: Adams is a racist, but not the 20 million black people who think it’s not OK to be white.” Musk responded initially by tweeting,

Thank God for the selfless FBI whistleblowers who are spilling the beans on the rancid ideology that has infected that powerful federal law enforcement agency. The leaks from inside keep coming and they show that the FBI abuses its power in dangerous ways, surveilling and victimizing law-abiding Americans while doing little to control violent crime in our cities or doing anything about the porous border that is allowing industrial quantities of lethal drugs, and millions of illegal migrants, including criminals and terrorists, into the country.

Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin said during an interview over the weekend that communist China was attempting to use a “trojan horse” to gain access to U.S. taxpayer benefits. Youngkin made the remarks on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox News host Maria Baritromo while discussing his decision to reject a multi-billion dollar electric car factory from Ford coming to his state because of the company’s connections to China. Youngkin said the plant would have been operated by China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology and would have been a “trojan horse structure to gain access to taxpayer incentives” legislation that Democrats passed which gives credits to consumers for purchasing electric vehicles.

Once again displaying her total obliviousness, Republican National Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced Sunday that 2024 presidential candidates will likely have to pledge to support the winner in the general election, or they’ll be kept out of the primary debates. Who cares? This is nothing but a lame attempt to paper over the party’s stark divisions over ex-President Donald Trump, one of three declared candidates so far. The simple fact is that many GOP voters won’t support him if he’s the nominee, and some of his voters likely won’t show for any other Republican.

Democrats in Minnesota have advanced a plan to give driver’s licenses to potentially 77,000 eligible illegal aliens. This week, the Democrat-controlled Minnesota state senate passed a bill in a 34-31 vote that will eliminate the legal residency requirement for obtaining a driver’s license in the state. Instead, illegal aliens would be able to secure licenses to legally drive vehicles. The bill will now head back to the Minnesota state house for approval. Gov. Tim Walz (D) has said he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill overturns a prior law signed by former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R). In California, one of the first states to pass such a law,

Sherry Lankston and her two sons began their trek to the Golden State last week after they saw a post from the San Diego County Department of Animal Services about an animal up for adoption whose face has an endearing lopsided smile. Harvey, a year and a half old husky, was posted by the Southern California animal services department on February 10, stating that the pup was looking for a good home and family.

Accused Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger could face a firing squad if he is found guilty for the quadruple homicide of four college students last year. Lawyers are believed to be gearing up for the possibility of a death penalty trial for the 28-year-old criminal justice major - who remains the only suspect in the November 13 slayings of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20 and Xana Kernodle, 20. Prosecutors haven't yet indicated whether they intend to pursue the death penalty for Kohberger, although it seems likely they will, given the gravity of his alleged crimes.

We know that the left is always looking for an opportunity to silence those who challenge their groupthink. Their target isn't only conservatives, but anybody who disagrees with their worldview even in the slightest possible way. They left lives in the hope that contrarians to their groupthink will either misspeak or express a nuanced and detailed idea that can be extracted, stripped of context, and made to appear bigoted. This gives them reason to mount a social media campaign and initiate cancelation.
